4月16日（路透社）——一名联邦法官周四再次裁定，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普未经国会批准修建白宫舞厅的计划违法，斥责这名共和党总统以“国家安全需要”为由强行推进项目。
在一份长达10页的裁决书中，美国地区法官理查德·里昂修改了他3月31日发布的停工禁令措辞，以回应特朗普和联邦机构对该早期裁决“厚颜无耻”且“不诚实”的解读。

美国国家历史保护信托基金是一家受国会委托负责保护历史建筑的非营利组织，该组织起诉特朗普政府，称特朗普在去年10月拆除具有历史意义的白宫东翼并开始修建计划中的9万平方英尺舞厅时越权。该项目耗资超4亿美元，资金来自企业捐赠者。
里昂表示，他将明确此前禁令的适用范围：叫停“计划中舞厅的地上施工”，但不涉及“国家安全设施的地下施工”。
这位法官最初在3月31日的裁决中称，大部分施工必须停止，但工作人员可继续“为确保白宫安全安保所必需的施工”。

特朗普和联邦机构随后在法庭文件中声称，法官的国家安全例外条款适用于整个项目，因为舞厅包含抗导弹立柱和防无人机屋顶等设施。
特朗普政府还辩称，舞厅及其下方计划中的军事掩体是“一个统一、连贯的整体”。
里昂在周四的裁决书中写道，特朗普和联邦机构“如今试图彻底颠覆这一例外条款，毫无道理地坚称整个舞厅项目都可以继续推进”。
“我绝不可能同意，”法官写道。
特朗普周四斥责里昂是一名“极具政治偏见”且“失控”的法官。
“这座舞厅对我们的国家安全至关重要，任何法官都无权阻止这项具有历史意义且军事上势在必行的项目，”特朗普在Truth Social平台上说道。
美国国家历史保护信托基金曾要求里昂澄清其此前的禁令。在特朗普提起上诉后，中级上诉法院上周也援引特朗普关于国家安全的论点，指示里昂重新审视禁令的适用范围。

April 16 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Thursday again ruled that U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to build a White House ballroom without congressional approval was unlawful, faulting the Republican president for asserting that national security requirements demanded the project move forward.
In a 10-page order, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon modified the wording of an injunction he issued on March 31 that had ordered construction to stop, to address Trump and federal agencies’ “brazen” and “disingenuous” interpretation of that earlier ruling.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit charged by Congress to help preserve historic buildings, sued the administration, asserting Trump exceeded his authority when he razed the historic White House East Wing last October and began construction of the planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, which is costing more than $400 million and being funded by corporate donors.
Leon said he was clarifying the scope of his earlier order to stop “above-ground construction of the planned ballroom” but not “below-ground construction of national security facilities.”
The judge’s original March 31 order said much of the work needed to stop but that crews could continue “construction necessary to ensure the safety and security of the White House.”

Trump and federal agencies then asserted in court filings that the judge’s national security exception applied to the entire project because of elements of the ballroom like missile-resistant columns and drone-proof roofing.
The Trump administration also argued that the ballroom and a planned military bunker underneath it are a “single, coherent whole.”
Leon wrote in Thursday’s order that Trump and federal agencies “now seek to turn this exception on its head and unreasonably insist that the entire ballroom project may proceed.”
“I cannot possibly agree,” the judge wrote.
Trump on Thursday called Leon a “highly political” and “out of control” judge.
“The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project,” Trump said on Truth Social.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation had asked Leon to clarify his earlier injunction. After Trump appealed, an intermediate appeals court last week had also instructed Leon to revisit its scope, citing Trump’s arguments about national security.
